Step-by-step4 steps
- 1
Ensure the subject minimizes excess movement before the jump, as it affects the initial hip height measurement
- 2
Avoid following the jump upward with the camera, as this changes where the initial hip height is measured
- 3
Do not adjust the subject's position while already recording, as repositioning affects their positioning in the assessment
- 4
Start recording before the subject sinks into their counter movement, not after they've already begun the downward motion
